From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

Inertial sensors are one technology being used for performance monitoring. Within combat sports, there is an emerging trend to use this type of technology; however, the use and selection of this technology for combat sports has not been reviewed. To address this gap, a systematic literature review for combat sport athlete performance analysis was conducted. A total of 36 records were included for review, demonstrating that inertial measurements were predominately used for measuring strike quality. The methodology for both selecting and implementing technology appeared ad-hoc, with no guidelines for appropriately analysing the results. This review summarises a framework of best practice for selecting and implementing inertial sensor technology for evaluating combat sport performance. It is envisaged that this review will act as a guide for future research into applying technology to combat sport. Keywords: combat sport; technology; inertial sensor; performance 1. Introduction In recent years, technological developments have resulted in the production of small, unobtrusive wearable inertial sensors.

  • Guidance Towards a Full Return to Amateur Boxing 15 May 2020
    OFF THE ROPES: GUIDANCE TOWARDS A FULL RETURN TO AMATEUR BOXING 15 MAY 2020 England Boxing’s number one priority is the safety and wellbeing of our clubs, members and staff, and as such, we will endeavour to communicate regularly and directly with our clubs and members, and will issue further guidance as and when more information becomes available. Further to the Prime Minister’s announcement on May 10, Government guidance on the phased return of sport and recreation and the England Boxing COVID-19 Update issued on May 12, set out below is a further update, including considerations for amateur boxing clubs and members, as we move tentatively towards a full return to amateur boxing in England. By its very nature, boxing poses a greater risk from COVID-19 than most other sporting activities. Unfortunately, it is therefore likely that the full return of amateur boxing will occur later than many other sports. It should also be noted that, as per Government guidance, professional boxing may be permissible sooner than amateur boxing for broadcast purposes. Introduction As with all communities globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on amateur boxing in England, leading to the closure of clubs, the postponement or cancellation of regional and national championships, box cups and club shows and a range of negative impacts on participants, volunteers and staff. Above all, England Boxing recognises and pays tribute to those within the boxing community who have lost their lives and their loved ones. Furthermore, there has been significant disruption both individually and collectively from a physical, mental and financial perspective, with many clubs experiencing immediate hardship as well as ongoing concern about whether – or when – they will be able to re-open.

ASSESSING A PUNCHING BAG FEEDBACK PERFORMANCE DEVICE Neil Deochand, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2017 Physical exercise has been integrated into treatment efforts in reversing the number of overweight and obese individuals. Furthermore, exercise extends mortality, enhances general quality of life, and it is a protective health factor for preventing the progression some mental health disorders. Electronic athletic training equipment easily allows monitoring of real-time physical activity, and enables tracking of progress made toward individualized performance goals. There are limitations to only using visual feedback (e.g., visual depictions of heart rate, speed, distance traveled, or calories burned etc.) to track and improve exercise and athletic performance, especially for some sports, such as boxing. This issue could be addressed by incorporating real-time audio along with visual feedback on crucial dimensions of a boxing workout. The study proposed herein is designed to evaluate if the audio/ visual feedback package using a multiple baseline design across subjects results in better workouts and improved athletic performance, when compared to a standard punching bag workout.
